Title: Through Four American Wars: The Impressions and Experiences of Brigadier General William Henry Bisbee as told to his grandson William Haymond Bisbee [Inscribed and Signed by both William Bisbees, Autograph Letter Signed with Prospectus Laid in]
Author: William Henry Bisbee and William Haymond Bisbee
Seller: Capitol Hill Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good+
Description: Boston: Meador Publishing Company, 1931. Very Good+. Boston: Meador Publishing Company, 1931. First Edition. Octavo (21.5cm); publisher's blue gilt-lettered buckram; 281pp.; photographic portrait frontispiece, fifteen leaves of plates (collated complete). Very light shelf wear, spine gilt a shade dulled, textblock a bit toned, else a Very Good to Near Fine example. Inscribed and signed on front free endpaper, "Dear Friend and Companion: May your kindly Christian life be reflected in many blessings / With all good wishes, Sincerely / William H. Bisbee / Brig. Gen'l," October 17th, 1931. Further inscribed by Bisbee's grandson on portrait plate facing p. 274, "To my good friend, Hal, Bill Bisbee." Laid in is the original bifolium publisher's prospectus and a 1-page ALS addressed to an A.A. Chittenden, dated March 17th, 1932, on both sides of a single sheet of Loyal Legion stationery (ca 200 words). The laid-in prospectus is poorly trimmed at bottom, costing a few characters but no loss of sense, with old folds and brief splits; Good. The ALS is folded at center, with edge-toning and wrinkling, some mild smudges to ink and a few passages appear to have been traced over in pencil; still complete and Very Good. William Henry Bisbee (1840-1942) was a veteran of the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War. Enlisting as a private in 1862, he retired in 1904 as a Brigadier General, after more than 41 years of active duty. He was stationed at Fort Phil Kearney in 1866, and in this work he gives a detailed account of the Kearny Massacre, siding with Fetterman and disparaging the military competence of commanding officer Col. F.G. Carrington. In the enclosed letter, to a fellow member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Bisbee opens with "My dear friend and companion," and goes on to express regret over his absence at recent Loyal Legion meetings, which he suggests has been the result of a falling out between himself and the Board of the Massachusetts Commandery, which he accuses of suppressing his comments in response to a call for suggestions "touching the welfare of the Legion." Though written by a man of ninety-two, the letter in Bisbee's hand remains strong and legible. Indeed, the photographic portrait of him taken in 1930 facing p. 278 boggles the imagination--at ninety Bisbee looks fifty. When he died, in 1942, he was the oldest retired U.S. Army General still living. A great copy of a rather uncommon book. Graff 305.

Author: Walker, Robert J.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: London: William Ridgway, 1863. 26pp. Disbound, else Very Good. Walker had been an expansionist Mississippi Senator and Polk's Treasury Secretary, enthusiastically supporting the Texas annexation and the Mexican War. But "Walker was at heart a Free-Soiler" and he remained an "eager Unionist" [DAB]. He spent much of the War in England selling federal bonds to support the war effort. In this Letter he demonstrates, with an array of data, the economic superiority of free labor over slavery. The pamphlet was reprinted in 1864 as Letter No. V. OCLC 26044400 [3- Lincoln Pres. Lib., U MN, U IL] as of June 2026.

Spine a bit faded, very minor foxing at fore-edge only. A very good copy, lacking the scarce dust jacket. This title was published after Buchergilde Gutenberg had left German.
